Trivia
- He came up with the title "Halo".[1]
- He is said to be responsible for many of the signature architectural styles of the Halo universe, most notably Forerunner.
- He hates being referred to as 'the Forerunner guy'
- He never eats lunch and wonders why people don't call him to go out anymore.
- He is said to perform a mean bagpipe duet with Dave Dunn.
- He used to be a mean bastard... Is no longer mean.
- He, not once, but twice, passed gas directly (and noisily) onto Vic DeLeon's face as he napped on a beanbag. It's true. Ask Vic. And Cameron Pinard. And Jason Sussman.
- He drew the monumentally small (and awful) "shore leave" comic in the graphic novel (printed actual size).
- He is the arch nemesis of Christopher Carney.
- He is the mentor of Mike Zak. Mike Zak is his protoge. They opened for Bowie in '72. It rocked.
- I should stop writing 'He' since I'm editing this section myself. Pray I don't edit yours.
